I went for a 2nd H&MU trial. All I wanted is to cry. ..
I don't think that I'm asking too much.. I wanted a simple and elegant up-do and natural look on mu... my expectation at the end of the trial was to know the exact look that I'll have on my day.
However, it didn't come close. I've spent over $300 total on my 1st and 2nd H&MU trials.
All this disappointment puts me on an urgent hunt for H&MU artist/stylist becuse I don't have much time.
Could you help recommend someone who you know is good and nice.. professional and reliable.
I have 4 BMs so, total of 5 people including myself.
TIA.

I would recm'd Mia from Bridal Lounge...she just did my wedding on Sunday, and did my mom's MU, 2 BM's Hair & MU, and another BM's hair...she was fantastic...a little on the pricey side...but well worth it.

Re: Hair & Make-UP 2nd Trial
For hair, I really recommend Maria from Concours D'elegance.
I've only been to ONE trial after viewing several pics, and let me tell you she's amazing - I booked her right away.
You have to tell her EXACTLY the look you're going for..., and try to take a pic with you... You won't be disappointed!

I just booked Maria for hair also. I brought her a picture and described what I wanted and the finish product was exactly what I was looking for. You definately will not be disapponted.

Re: Hair & Make-UP 2nd Trial
Have you tried your local salon? That's where I am going, and it's pretty inexpensive. I would go with an exact photo of what you want., Here's where I get confused when girls say they don't like their trial. To me, and when I go, a trial will not be 1 attempt, but they had better try until they get it right. If an updo, any day, costs $45, and a trial costs $65, then they better work with me, and trial my hair until I like it. Is that wrong?

Definitely Jacqueline Nicole - I also wanted a VERY natural look that no one seemed to understand but her...she worked with me and took off and lightened whatever I asked her too. She is under 'vendors' - you can find her info there.

Re: Hair & Make-UP 2nd Trial
also...they (vendors on this site) will often refer you to someone else as well!!! So it's not a 'crapshoot' to contact the 'big' names even though they are taken.
